going-away chess months
I'd like to go away for six months and learn to kiteboard and windsurf. I love pinochle, I love chess and I love windsurfing.
forget-everything lines busy
I'm so busy these days. I forget everything but my lines.
couple play half
I've written a couple screenplays and half-finished plays.
perfect people world
If I could only get people to rub my belly for good lucky and then throw money in my fountain, it'd be a perfect world.
stories want watches
You can watch any episode you want and have a compelling story being told.
nice people actors
I'm just an actor, but if the extra part of it is that I'm helping people or people are being helped by the virtue of what we're doing, then that's just a really nice added extra.
crazy character self
Crime is one of the leads of the show. If there's ever anything that deals with a character's personal life, you don't have to worry about it getting too crazy. People don't have to worry about character arcs. Each episode is a self-contained unit.
hero levels tvs
De Niro was a hero of mine. And Sean Penn. But I've realized I can't operate at that level of intensity. That's okay for movies. On TV, when you live with horror day in and day out, you have to protect yourself.
favorite-places my-favorite bali
I'd have to say Bali's my favorite place that I've visited.
smart successful thinking
I think to be a successful comic, you have to be exceptionally smart and exceptionally perceptive.
heart nudists
I'm a nudist at heart.
dog las-vegas blue
People don't know where to place me. Terry Gilliam used me as a quirky cop in 'Twelve Monkeys', and then he hired me again to be an effeminate hotel clerk in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'. Another time, I was shooting this indie film 'The Souler Opposite' and six days a week, I'm playing this big puppy dog, then I come to the 'NYPD Blue' set and become this scumbag.
surfing conservative republican
But I came from a conservative Republican background.
play
I don't get called very often to play innocents.
